It was done.
Julian Winter was dead.
While Nick had not been present, there had been several meetings between the Shields over the past decades.
Julian Winter was not part of Aegis.
That was a fact, and that had always been true.
The Champion and all the other Shields knew about that.
He was a Specter, and Specters were only interested in their own gain.
In the past, they had a common enemy.
Death and its forces.
But what about when those stopped being problematic?
Sure, Julian would keep working with Aegis to help it.
With Julian's help, they could also deal with the Trio of Destruction and several other Adversaries.
Humanity would rise.
But then what?
At that point, Julian would already be an Adversary.
If Julian managed to become an Adversary, he would be more dangerous than Death.
As a mere Demon, he already managed to lead several Corruptors to their death.
